Delightful here in Sacramento this week. Lot of eye candy for the tree lovers walking the city parks. Will get back Saturday evening in time to enjoy a real storm for the first time in forever.
First 30's this morning...10 days ahead of last year. Looks warm coming up the next few days then off to Sacramento next week to get pretty much the exact same weather.
At least the Pacific has perked up this year...maybe that'll help flush out the stagnation in the pattern. Looks like Hong Kong getting knocked around by Ragasa...
Not going to let the 6z GFS suck me into believing the parade of rain storms. Hopeful signs the pattern actually changes by end of the month. 66/60 nice "summer" morning.
Measurable precip the last 3 days which is welcome, though I realized my Davis was clogged so not sure what I actually got here. Nice pink hued skies this evening as the clouds depart. 59/58
August was only slightly BN here but bucks the trend of the summer, which ends just a bit under +2. Got 1.32" of precip in Aug with 5.21" total for met summer, which is -6.93". Need to shake things up to start correcting this deficit.
Observation deck looks pretty quiet. 70/57 here...beautiful. Good a decent .25" yesterday and overnight. I cannot remember the last time I mowed my lawn.
Interesting storm...surprised to read this from Ars...
"With a central pressure of 917 mb on Saturday, Erin ranks as the second-most intense Atlantic in the last 50 years prior to today's date, behind only Hurricane Allen in 1980."
Not sure what style you're looking for but Barking Crab is good for "in-the-rough" shellfish, etc. Went there years ago and enjoyed it. Plenty of choices obviously and don't pass up Chinatown.
